Can-Am was run between 1966 and 1974 ,and because most of the available cars are so drastically different this will be a "builders" series.

Thanks! Twister

Twister and I will be working on getting appropriate resin wheel inserts available. I already have plenty of pre-painted resin driver figures available. See my web site (in Web Links) and let me know if/when you need one.

---

Food for thought: aftermarket silicone tire widths Ninco 1200=.410 Fly classic=.430 F1=.470 HSRR McLaren=.605 Why no F1's?

---

So which PPR is that Ken?

---

Fly also produces a Porsche 908/2 is that allowed?

---

Gar, The tires on my car are Indy Grips. I don't think PPR makes one, but I believe there are others out there.

---

I missed the front tire thing, have to admit that concerns me as well. And maybe some clarification on interiors please? If I scratch build a slammed car with an inline chassis, much more than a helmet and the top of the steering wheel is gonna look goofy. What is the minimum requirement?

---

Do we know if all these cars front tires touch when stock from the manufacturer? I have five cars that are legal for this class but none of them are legal because of the front tires. The wheel inserts are a bit of a concern as well. Is Ray really going to have inserts available for every aftermarket wheel?

---

Probably not, but many wheels that I've seen, and I've certainly not seen them all, have similar recess size. Much of this needs to be worked out but if I can get examples of wheels wished to be used, I believe I can make the appropriate inserts. Again, much needs to be worked out and I know Ronny's intention is to have "series and era" accurate wheels, not necessarily the precise wheel that was on a particular car. Ronny, do I have this correct?

---

The idea for the wheels touching the track is to keep some of the guide flags from tearing up the copper tape on peoples tracks , I have had this happen to me before . Wheel inserts can also be made by turning down the stock wheels . The interiors dont have to be a full tub . I dont know of a908/2 but the 903/3 is not legal .

---

So you're suggesting we change the rules for all our classes so the front tires touch?

---

To much grief, the tires touching the track rule has been deleted

---

Maybe saying no more than a business card fitting under the front tires is appropriate. I would not want to see tires an 1/8 inch off the track!

---

Allen, Fly's 908/3 never ran in the series, but a 908/10 did run, which was essentially a 908/3 body coupled with a horizontal spoiler attached high up between the vertical fins. Ask Ron if he will let you run the car in this configuration... Rich

---

I was asking about the 908/2. Fly makes these as well as the 908 and 908/3. Just curious. Also I was under the impression that we were allowing the Sloter Lola T290?

---

Sorry for the delay , I just found out what the 908/2 is , looks just like a 908 , it will be o.k. I forgot about the Slotter Lola , again its o.k.

---

Here's a new one. Bought an HRS chassis. The narrowest wheel I can put on the front axle are small Slot-it's like off a Sauber or 962. With those wheels the front end measures 2.45". I have Fly 917's, a HSRR McLaren's, and the Monogram Lola from the series. That width front end won't fit under any of them. Not sure what Slot-it was thinking, I went through at least 40 cars, I found two that I might be able to get that front end under. Can we modify the chassis to get it under a body?

---

I know how that chassis is made , its to wide , but if you use hub-less wheels , it works fine --- no you can't modify the chassis . I didn't put this chassis in the rules to make it easy , I did it to make it hard. Too many cars can be made "winners" by building the original car ,the idea of " the more I spend , The faster I'll be " is nonsense , a really fast car can be made , without spending oodles of bucks fairly easy . Remember , we race one lots of different tracks , they all race different!

---

By the way , I saw a Monogram Lola , turn 7.1s on randy's track , with the stock chassis !

---

as far as I can see T162s ran the original series not the T280s
